Conseils techniques

Controlled Movement

Avoid the common mistake of moving the bar too quickly or using momentum to lift. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements. Lower the bar to your chest and press it back up, ensuring your elbows stay close to your body throughout the movement. This will help you engage your triceps more effectively.

Avoid Locking Elbows

A common mistake is to fully extend and lock your elbows at the top of the lift. This not only puts unnecessary strain on your joints but also can lead to injury. Instead, aim to keep a slight bend in your elbows even at the top of the movement.
